[Bug 966474] Re: should not propose to remove appmenu when migrating from Lucid to precise

[Michael Vogt]

Its a bit confusing, its listed as a unused dependency:

2012-03-26 19:01:09,206 DEBUG Unused dependencies: appmenu-gtk

And that happens because:
Investigating (0) indicator-appmenu [ i386 ] < none -> 0.3.95-0ubuntu2 > ( gnome )
Broken indicator-appmenu:i386 Conflicts on libdbusmenu-glib1 [ i386 ] < 0.2.9-0ubuntu3.1 > ( libs ) (< 0.3.7)
  Considering libdbusmenu-glib1:i386 9 as a solution to indicator-appmenu:i386 3
  Holding Back indicator-appmenu:i386 rather than change libdbusmenu-glib1:i386

And that seems to be the conflict on the no-longer existing libdbusmenu-glib1. But libdbusmenu-glib1 has a higher
score (9) probably because a bunch of the installed stuff depends on it so apt feels like it should not remove it.

Title:
  should not propose to remove appmenu when migrating from Lucid to
  precise

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi guy, 
  testing Precise since the beginning, I decided yesterday to test the upgrade from Lucid to Precise.
  I run it on a dedicated patition.

  I didn't really pay attention to the proposed action after the upgrade was done ( and I think ther would be many users which wouldn't pay attention too ) .
  in the Remove item proposal, the appmenu was beyond  the list, as said without paying attention and free up some place, I choose to remove those items , with play a central role on Precise. The results of this action is that Precise had no global menu anymore, I had to manually install it after. 

  The solution I propose is : the update-manager shouldn't propose to
  remove item which play a central role on the version of the distro
  where we are migrating to.
